I was in eighth grade and he was in tenth grade. Even my parents came to know about it. But when I rejected his proposal, he stopped talking to me. Later, when I got hurt, he started talking to me again. His concern for me during that difficult period is what attracted me towards him. He continued to propose but I still took my time.

It was 2010-2011, I was in the top 5 Indian players in men’s singles. One day I started having back pain and it was discovered that air bubbles had formed in the bones of my spine.

Even to go to the washroom I had to be supported and there was a fear of paralysis in the lower part of the body but I was not ready to leave. After a few weeks, I started trying things.
